As I unterstand /e/ browser in my q 0.23 Galaxy S9 is based in Chrome v. 96. However, Chrome is already v. 100. I heard about various security issues being fixed with the previous chrome updates. So do you recommend to use the /e/ browser?
Personally not. I use Bromite or Brave, chromium based and they have an adblock feature. /e/ browser is a fork of Bromite and, yes, it has adblock feature but it isn’t update constatly. This is a problem.
